"details": "Polaris Banks loves making movies but has no money or connections. So he foolishly takes on ambitious projects and funds them by selling his body to science and maxing out credit cards. His latest hair-brained scheme \"And Her Body Was Never Found\" roped in his wife to make a movie with no other crew, just two people in the woods with a camera. Polaris's other bizarrely difficult undertakings include Reklaw, a $200,000 sell-funded short, and Casey Jones, a comic book adaptation featuring a Ninja Turtle.",
